Answer:

A negative

when the charged rod is brought closer to the sphere negative charges get induced on the surface of the sphere by gathering some electrons from the ground and the negative charges reamain on the sphere even after disconnecting it. here the ground acts as a reservoir of electrons.

Answer:

The 2 light bulbs can be connected in parallel to each other to avoid disconnection when one bulb burns out.

Explanation:

The parallel connection is required not series. A parallel connection is the connection of electronic components (e.g bulbs, LED, resistors, capacitors etc) in such a way that the same voltage is supplied across the ends of the components.  While in a series connection, the components are connected to each other end-to-end.

As regard the question, parallel connection ensures that the brightness any of the bulbs is not affected with respect to the other bulbs. And other bulbs continue to function when any burns out. The 2 light bulbs should be connected in parallel to the baterry to avoid disconnection of all the bulbs.

A comet speeds up as it approaches the Sun. Which statement about its kinetic energy is correct?(1 point)
krok68 [10]

A comet speeds up as it approaches the Sun. Which statement about its kinetic energy is correct option is - (1) The comet has no kinetic energy because it is in outer space.

  • Large ice and dust-based bodies known as comets circle the Sun. These ancient objects, which are best known for their long, streaming tails, are relics from the solar system's birth 4.6 billion years ago. The majority of comets are located outside of our solar system. Some are found in the Kuiper Belt, a vast disc that extends past Neptune's orbit. These are known as short-period comets. They orbit the Sun in lesser than 200 years.
  • The Outermost Layer, the solar system's sphere-shaped outer edge, which is nearly 50 times further from the Sun than the Kuiper Belt, is home to additional comets. Because of how much longer it takes them to orbit the Sun, these are known as long-period comets. The comet with the longest known orbit completes one orbit in excess of 250,000 years.
